After popping up in cities like Miami, New York City, and San Francisco, a captivating Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy is back in Long Beach. Inspired by four works from the renowned author, the evening pairs transfixing tales with creative cocktails inside an eerie setting – think dimly lit lanterns, flickering candles, and Gothic decor.
The limited-time Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy will only be open at The Queen Mary in Long Beach from May 29-30. Secure your tickets before the immersive storytelling experience moves on to its next destination.
What to expect at the Second Chapter of the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy
Infused with powerful themes of love, loss, and regret, Poe’s legendary tales explore dark yet intriguing aspects of the human psyche. Within the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy, Poe historians will bring four new Poe stories to life, allowing the audience to explore the fascinating worlds of Edgar Allan Poe once more. The chilling tales feature The Cask of Amontillado, Annabel Lee, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Fall of the House of Usher.
The second chapter of the speakeasy has taken up residence at The Queen Mary. For a limited time, the venue will be decked out with dimly lit lanterns, flickering candles, and more moody decor.
Of course, libations are also a key component of the themed experience. Guests can anticipate creative cocktails such as the Lover’s Lament, a bittersweet blend of bourbon, lemonade, and hibiscus, and the Montresor’s Revenge, a mixture of rich amontillado and fresh orange juice.
Guests will enjoy a 90-minute interactive show as they sip on four complimentary cocktails. Tickets start at $55 and are available to those ages 21 and above. It is not necessary to have attended the first rendition of the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy to enjoy Chapter Two!
